I got a routine I do with Erika and Roxie, I like to call it the synchronized Bh (obedience) event. I do the Obedience routine with both of them together, doing one dog impresses most people but doing the routine with two is worth quarters in your hat. Anyway the problem is, and especially because of the heat, is they will quit or shut down after a while with no early warning. They'll jump back into the van or find a shady spot. The worse offense was at the park and they were in a down about fifty yards away when I gave them the "HIER" command, normally they would tear ass in, sit in front then go to the Fuss (heel). They didn't this time, this time they tore ass in, blew past me and jumped into the lake. My question is what should I be looking for to tip me off it's time for a break. Or is it they are AFL/CIO dogs and are going to take breaks regardless?
I know when the tounge hangs long they're hot but I've seen them do that going to the mail box

Look for head placement how they are wagging there tail and also there speed to do the commands. Pretty much look for any different body postures from where the dog started and where the dog is when he quits.
Another good idea (i think anyhow) is to do this Synchronized Bh Event once a day for a week and time it each time and see if you can find a pattern.

Thanks, What I'll think I'll do is have my son video the routine so I can review it, but that may prove a challenge, he's 12, holding his attention is about as easy as refilling a toothpaste tube. I do an abbreviated routine, the sit in motion and down in motion really impresses people, and the long down with them sitting side by side looks cool and when I give them a hier you can hear them pounding the ground and see the grass and dirt fly.
I can do it with my three dogs but one of them is a nerve bag and I can't take him out in public
